Out of Hibernation!!!

Sorry it has been such a long time since I have posted. I will honestly try to do better. I promised Madison that I would remember to post when I got home. I will highlight some of my favorite times and things that have taken place since October. I first want to start out with a new TV program that I think is absolutely adorable. It is one of Halle's favorite shows. This is my favorite part from the program.

The Sisters, oh my goodness. I freakin' love my sisters. They are the best in the world! XOXOXO
I want to hold each one of you guys right now. I could just cuddle with you guys forever. You guys are so cute! Madison, I miss arguing with you about some dumb random fact in Harry Potter. You know your freakishly weird. You know more about those books than I do and you have only read them twice each. I have read them a lot more than that!
Brooklyn, I miss reading with you too. Madison promised that she would keep reading with you, make sure that she does! Tell me if she doesn't. I also made her promise that she has to let you read half of the time. I love you snookie!
Halle, I know that you can't read or understand this even if someone reads it to you, but I miss you so much getting into your little zoo animal books and all the other ones as well. I miss you falling asleep in your high chair or stealing Madison and Brooklyn's juice boxes out of the fridge.
Mason, I miss your stretching and pooping all of the time. I miss everything about you. Yes, even the peeing on me part. I love ya little dude.
Beckey, I miss you so much. I really do. I am really proud of you! You are such a great mother. I hope that can be just as supportive and loving to my children as you are to yours. I know that your having a little bit of a hard time adjusting to a new addition to the family, but you'll soon learn how to juggle the balls. Your a great juggler by the way! :-) I love you more than you know and look up to you.
Travis, I miss you too! I really miss being up there with you guys. I still sometimes get mad at you for having to move to Halifax, but I am also so proud of you of all your accomplishments. You have done so well. You are such a great father and I am really thankful that my sister and neices and nephew have such a great husband and father to care for them and look after them over there yonder! Haha. I wish that I could come up and visit over spring break...wait a minute...BYU doesn't have a spring break. Love all you guys!
This is the wonderful snowman that we (Ba, Nan, Madison, and Brooklyn)just rolled up one day and left out in the cold. Haha. The little one, namely Halle wanted to name it Oatmeal! Jk. I just know that is what she was thinking. Well, believe it or not, we named him Frosty. Frosty the snowman. How original. Halle kept giving him kisses. It was adorable. I told everyone that Halle had a boyfriend. Travis, pulled a dad, and said that he must be the "coolest" boyfriend in the world! Yes, he pulled a Richard! Our snowman unfortunatly did not live very long. He did not make it to the North Pole this year. He fell on his face, I still believe it was a homiside! I did not have time to investigate. Here is to Frosty! May we see you soon!
This is all of us ice skating. While I was in Canada, I bought some ice skates! I am really glad I did. Now, I have more of a reason to go ice skating. I love ice skating. I am not really any good, but I think it is way fun. I think that I need to break in my skates just a little bit more though, they hurt me last time. I had fun with the girls. They are really good skaters! I was sad that I did not get the chance to skate with them on Buxton's Pond.
This is the little make over night that we did. It was fun. The girls had just a little bit too much make up for my liking. They were so good at doing hair. Brooklyn curled my hair and she did not even burn me. Thanks Brooklyn! Abby had her make up done the other day when I saw her. She let Easton put make up on her. He put blue eyeshadow on her eyebrows! She looked really silly.
These are the trees that are right outside of my front door in Provo. In this picture, it had just snowed and then the sky cleared up and was very very blue. It was simply beautiful!
I love you Halle! That had is so adorable...I want to just kiss your little cheeks!
I love you Madison. You are becoming a young woman. Four more years until you are in Young Womens! Wow...that is shocking.
I love you Brooklyn. You are as cute as ever. Keep on reading Harry Potter, don't give up. You are such a great reader.
This is the BIG MAN FROSTY! He is the FROSTY OF ALL FROSTY'S!!! This dude is freakin' 10-12 feet tall! Wow. I do not know how they built it. I think that this is the biggest snowman that I will ever see in my life. Although life can surprise you at many times. Time will tell.
Amanda, Rochelle, Sam, Jaqueline, and moi! Christmas Party for Pediatric Dentistry at Dale's house.
I took this picture right after Utah had it's first snowfall of 2007. You could say that I was just a little bit excited. I can't wait to go again when I have time.
I think everyone should know where this is! This is the Francis' house all lit up. Oh my goodness! :-) Wow!
Here are some pictures that I took before coming up to Halifax. Brady and Easton.
Kaitlin, sorry Mason, she will always be Tators to me!
This is Abby trying to curtsey like a princess. She is silly.
This is Janet. She will probably want me to go live with Frosty right now because I put her picture up. She doesn't like her photo taken for some reason. I think it is because she is just too beautiful, she doesn't like to show off or something! Love you Wanie! I couldn't resist putting this picture in. David, you are a still like a little kid! Haha...you make me laugh. I missed all you guys during Christmas. I had so much fun this Christmas Break though...I wouldn't trade it for anything. I missed my Polly too! I am so proud of you! I love you so much!

Love you all. Sorry it was such a long post. I have been in a very deep sleep, or so we can pretend. I woke up from hibernating to post this for you. XOXOXOXO

Halloween

I was trying to figure out what to be for a Halloween party that I went to on Friday night. I remembered that Madison was going to be a Vampiress! I decided that I needed to buy some fangs! I already had a killer dress to wear. I had a lot of fun. There were some pretty amazing costumes! I had a lot of fun.
Some of my roommates!!!
We are so silly!
Me, Zoey and Heather

Watch out!!! I am going to bite you!!!

Here, There and Everywhere

October came and has gone by rather quickly. I have done much and seen much. I am still working extremely hard and studying at BYU. There is so much to do when it comes to homework. Sorry that I haven't posted much this month. It is crazy. I hardly have time to do anything else besides study and work. My time here has been really fun and exciting. I STILL have not gone on a date yet...way to go KENZIE!!! Trust me, this is not my goal. I really want to go on a date. I actually may or may not have a date for this Saturday with Bobbi Lemmon's cousin. Yes Brooklyn, this boy would be Mrs. Lemmon's nephew! We'll see. Anyway. I am doing well. Here are a whole bunch of pictures that I have taken this month. They are mostly pictures of the BYU campus because that is where I always am.
This is a whole bunch of the equipment that we use at my work. I mainly schedule equipment for professors, students, etc. We also sell software and fix things such as computers, camera, etc. The guys up stairs fix those things, not me silly! Anyways, now I am doing some new things at my job. I am working area 1 on Tuesday and Thursday from 2 to 6. BYU campus's buildings are split up into areas, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7. 7 is where I work on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Don't ask me why they do not have an area 4, they used to but got rid of it. Weird! This equipment that you see here is only a little portion of all the equipment that we use. I have to know how to use, set up, and fix minor things on them. I am learning a lot through this job. It's great!
This desk is where my supervisor sits in the evenings. There are the employee boxes behind there. There are a whole bunch of green folders that hold the logs of all the different areas for the last year or something. Every night, when things on the day logs are completed, this is where we file them. This is a pretty dull blog, I am sorry, but this is what I have been doing.
This is where I sit and do the desk work in area 7 on Mon, Wed, and Fri. It's great!
This is a little pool that they just have on campus. BYU really takes care of its grounds and always makes it beautiful. They have a whole bunch of pretty things like this all over down here. A lot of people will come and sit by this pond to study or couples come down here a lot too! Hehe.
I thought that Travis would like this. I was walking by and they wanted people to join the pre-dental club. I thought it was funny so I took a picture.
I thought of Madison and Brooklyn when I saw this statue. There is no other university that would have a statue of a man, woman and child. I also thought that this was funny. I think that people think that I am funny because I am taking so many random pictures. Anyway. I remembered when me and Ba would swing you guys, it was so much fun. I miss doing that, and I miss you guys. :-(
They have these plants ALL OVER THE PLACE!!! It is crazy. They actually are pretty. Everything here is getting really beautiful because of the session. We are having the same crazy weather as always. It got really cold and was snowing for a while. Today, was pretty warm! But hey! This is Utah we are talking about!!!
This is some weird creation of art.
Another weird creation of art!
AND...This is my weird creation of art. Just kidding. This is something dumb that we were doing in stats to see how much weight certain rubber bands could hold and how much they would stretch. This activity was really fun, even though it doesn't sound very amusing.
Finally, last but not least, these last two pictures were taken back in Clinton. I went home for a weekend and I went to church with Maggie and Emily at the singles ward. We got talking about old times when we used to do stupid things as kids. I could tell you all the stories, but you probably wouldn't be interested...they are things that you just had to be there in order to appreciate them. But, here is one of the stories. When Maggie and I would get bored in class, we would rip up paper and then put the paper down this vent that you see here. We made up that a little boy named Alex lived down there because his mother did not want him. We tried to get him out of the vent but could never manage to do so. So, instead, we always would feed him strips of paper. I realized that paper was a food, after seeing Beckey eat it all the time!!! HAHA. Seriously, so silly! One day, our teacher yelled at us saying that we were going to start the building on fire one day if we were not careful. I don't know whether this was true or not, but we decided that it was time for Alex to go away, so we stopped feeding him. We have very funny memories of our primary days!
HELLO ALEX!!! Are you still down there???

To my family: I love you and I miss you terribly!
To my friends: Ditto.

I hope that I will do something fun this weekend because I do not have to work, so I probably will not go home. I probably will go to a couple Halloween parties down in good-old Provo! Maybe, I will get some pictures!

Abby, Kate, Easton, and Braxton

Here are some pictures of the grandkids back home. They look pretty silly. They sure do miss you guys. Abby and Kate always ask about Maddie and Bwookwin! Easton is always complaining that he would have a lot more fun with Madison and Brooklyn here. He misses Halle too! Braxton told me the other day that he was going to learn how to ski and that he was going to be a daredevil and go off a jump! Well, that is just about it. 80 more days!!! Only 80. Love you! Hugs and Kisses. Leave comments if you want me to tell any of the kids something, I can relay the message to them. XOXOXOXOXO
